So when is the dirt about Alito you predicated last week coming out?

And are the Democrats still planning on boycotting the State of the Union?

[Gordongekko909]

Red on red makes me feel all tingly.

You think that $oro$ being at the Davos conference is a coincidence?? He is still paying for the shots! Just another example of Yaaawn Cut & Run being a spineless coward.

Interesting. Yeah, it seems that since the libs are unable to beat the president and other Republicans, they've decided to direct their fire at easier targets -- at each other.

HRC says she's for a filibuster... we'll get to see how much power she wields.

Cardinal Rule #1: "When your enemy is intent on committing suicide, get out of the way."

I have to disagree with this rule. I say give them extra arsenic, more rope, and extra bullets and razor blades.

[chesley]

Well, I'm over at DU stirring them up to filibuster. Not that you have to stir much. They have no conception of minimizing their losses, working in a bipartisan manner, or any other reasonable action or plan in their pathetic political situation.

That's the reason the DHimmicRATic Party will be gone in 10 years.

[jveritas]

How can a national party with tens of millions of members be controlled by Left wing idiot bloggers? They are controlled by the DUmmies, Daily KOS, the Nation, moveon.org, people whose political IQ is less than that of a five years old child. They are controlled by people who are only driven by a terrifying hate toward President Bush and the Republicans. It is just horrifying what can hate do to people, and they wonder why they cannot win elections.

[Zack Nguyen]

We shouldn't hit the libs too hard here; when a leftist President nominates pro-abortion, anti-family, anti-2nd amendment judges I might want them filibustered too.

[BlessedByLiberty]

The Grinch stole their Fitzmas.

Now, I'm torn about what to call Kerry and Liberal Contingent's latest fund raising gambit. A few I've seen are:

"Fizzlebuster" or

"Fizzlebluster" or

"Fizzledbluster" - past tense -

[SandRat]

So,...... a DemonRat Internecine War is taking place wonder if Francois Kerri will select spit-balls at ten paces?

[RunningWolf]

Here you go the latest news. Reid says he doesn't have the votes for a filibuster.

What you will join me in witnessing, is the inward implosion of the Left, brought to you by the Flipper-in-Chief, John Kerry.

We need a Kerry/Sheehan ticket in '08! : )

[Katya]

I love that they want to mount a failed filibuster...they won't get the votes and will piss so many people off in the process. My ueber-lefty mother is speechless over their stupidity, I loved informing her that Kerry had been coordinating this from Switzerland.

Freepers should always refer to Obama by his given Muslim name:

Barack Obama
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Barack Obama
Office: Junior Senator, Illinois
Political party: Democratic
Term of office: January 2005–Present
Preceded by: Peter Fitzgerald
Succeeded by: Incumbent (2011)
Born: August 4, 1961
Honolulu, Hawaii
Died:
Spouse: Michelle Obama

Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. (born August 4, 1961) is a U.S. Senator from Illinois. He is the first African-American man from the Democratic Party ever to be elected to the United States Senate. He received international media coverage for his keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, delivered while he was still an Illinois state senator.

Obama won the open Senate seat while on leave from the University of Chicago Law School. He is the only African-American currently serving in the U.S. Senate, the fifth in U.S. history and the third since Reconstruction. Obama won the election in a landslide, with 70% of the vote to Alan Keyes' 27%. He is junior senator to Richard Durbin, with whom he is reported to have an excellent professional and personal relationship.

Obama is married to Michelle Obama, a Chicago native. They have two daughters: Malia Ann (born 1999) and Natasha (born 2001).

Early life

Barack Obama was born at the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii to Harvard-educated economist Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a native of Kenya, and S. Ann Dunham, of Wichita, Kansas. At the time of Obama's birth, both his parents were students at the East-West Center at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Barack initially was given the religion of his father which was Islam but eventually decided to embrace the Christian faith.

Of his years in Hawaii, Obama has written, "The irony is that my decision to work in politics, and to pursue such a career in a big Mainland city, in some sense grows out of my Hawaiian upbringing, and the ideal that Hawaii still represents in my mind."

When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father eventually returned to Kenya, and he saw his son only once more before his death in 1982. Ann Obama married another East-West Center student from Indonesia. In his early childhood while growing up with his mother, Barack used the name 'Barry'. The family then moved to Jakarta,
where Obama's half-sister Maya was born (Obama has other half-siblings from his father's other marriages). When Obama was ten he returned to Hawaii under the care of his grandparents, and later his mother, for the better educational opportunities. He was enrolled in the fifth grade at Punahou School, where he graduated with honors in 1979.

[Logical me]

Latest vote was 56 yes, 34 no. This is not the confirmation vote but just votes from each Senator on the floor. Still 10 more. Some of the RATS were saying they would vote no filibuster have changed their mind. I could have told you so. They were just using the typical RAT way of holding off the Constitutional option. And by damn, they succeeded. They are so predictable. And what burns me is the Republican Senators believe them. They just keep getting burned time after time and just don't get it.
